They Roll a Ball at Less Than Penny Pitch Andy Long delivers a lawn bowl at the start of the junior bowling clubs Clergy Comment Liberated Mothers by Rev Robert Gallagher Rector hi George Church Two articles about housewives recently appeared in two Liferent papers One defended the housewives right to have an outside job as women not to be satisfied merely to clean scrub cook and knit The other told of an experiment in which a group of average housewives had considerable success as community counselors The author was convinced that housewives can be particularly in identifying with distraught mothers and with sick and lonely people in their neighbourhoods The two articles bring the vocation of making into focus So much has been said about the liberation men about their right to find fulfillment outside the home that who is happy with her lot may eel that she is not with it or may at least wonder why she is not with it The choice for he liberated 9 household drudgery and an outside job There is a third alternative a conception of much broader than the usual one This Is part of a larger question How can we all get our tasks in a belter perspective sell their profession short if they think of it only as a series or chores Cooking washing and cleaning do need to be done and of course can be approached creatively trying new recipes dressing family attractively redecoratlna gardening tasks like these are challenges for women with skill and talent If the husband cooperates the truly liberating option for modem mothers lies in a broadened sense of It will include first of all her role as parent Child bearing and child rearing are among the greatest of human opportunities and responsibilities From the Christian perspective bringing up children properly is a challenge w of the talents of the most gifted woman PERSPECTIVE ASIDE Unfortunately our bent for affluence often pushes this perspective aside Research In a whole range of disciplines shows that the first seven years of a child a life have a great bearing on his future development The classic observation from Train up a child In the way he should go and when he is a man he will not depart from it is as relevant as ever A child parents or those to whom his care is entrusted will be his most important teachers The Christian mother of small children who is not at home during the day loses much of her opportunity to instruct her children in Christian principles as various situations arise in their daily lives The Christian home can be supportive In the larger community a part of a large network of concern helping to hold society together As society becomes more and more fragmented opportunities to serve multiply In every community there are lonely people who have no real friends no who cares about their welfare The average North American family moves every few years leaving relatives and friends behind A women who is ready to open her home to those in need of friendship can perform a real service There are many many other avenues available for the exercise of Christian compassion In which a woman can set her own hours so that she is free when her family needs SOW SOUND REASONS There are some situations in which married women and even mothers should work outside the home In some families the wife s Income is an economic necessity not to make he family affluent but to keep It from poverty Most young couples now feel that in the first years after marriage employment for the wife is necessary to get that down payment for the house Some Christian mothers with grown children have jobs outside the home in which they achieve greater Christian impact than if they stayed home There are a number of sound reasons why mothers of small children should think long and hard before leaving homo for regular employment first no mother should be fooled into thinking mat a Job is worthwhile creative and fulfilling because one is paid for doing it It is no more creative to check out groceries or type than to cook and clean At the humanitarian level the wife of an adequately salaried husband ought to weigh the social effects of her holding a job Often it means that someone else Is being kept off the labor force who may need work Not infrequently mother job turns out to be selfdefeating as an Income source The new expenses entailed such as a babysitter taxes transportation clothes shopping bills and the temptation to more luxurious living can actually wipe out the mother earnings UNIQUELY QUALIFIED There is no Christian Impcritivc cited that says a woman place is unalterably In the house Today Christian families ought to be thinking how he father mother and children can spend more time together rather than less There Is one job for which wives and mothers are uniquely qualified that is by making homes havens for husbands children and those around In need In this way Christ Is being served in a way that Is unique to mothers alone still of their
